A campaign's name is the member's own internal label, and some of them are
two characters ("MG"). DripOffers rejects anything under five, and more to
the point a click-earner scanning the offerwall learns nothing from "MG".
So the ad's own headline comes first, then the label, and a very short
label is qualified with the destination host — "MG (mailer.gold)" — rather
than dropped or dressed up in marketing copy we invented on the member's
behalf. Nothing usable at all returns null instead of a made-up title.
Found by the backfill: campaign 88 failed on it.

Third syndication rail. The first two send impressions; this one sends
clicks — a real person picks the offer off the offerwall, goes to the
member's link, and has to stay the dwell time before anyone is paid.
Two things it does that the other rails can't:
- It carries geo-targeted campaigns. DripOffers filters on an explicit
country list, so a campaign aimed at Tier 1 finally reaches an outside
audience instead of staying on our own site. Tier-3-only campaigns are
skipped rather than quietly sent worldwide, because an inclusion list
can't express "everywhere except the other tiers" and widening it would
deliver exactly the traffic the owner chose to exclude.
- Delivery is counted, not derived. It reads rows from the platform's
permanent click ledger. It never computes delivery as ordered minus
remaining, and pausing never zeroes remaining — that pair is what
charged members for impressions that never ran on Network Ad Space.
Also fixes two live bugs found while wiring it: the AdRevLinks pause was
nested inside the Network Ad Space check in both the end sweep and
setStatus, so with NAS switched off an ended or paused campaign kept
running on AdRevLinks. Each rail is now checked on its own.
Caps: 1,000 credits minimum, 10,000 clicks maximum per campaign. Not for
cost — Marty owns the platform and these placements are free — but because
the whole site delivers around 2,700 clicks a day, and one campaign
booking 50,000 would sit in the list for weeks.
Inert unless DRIPOFFERS_BRIDGE_URL and _KEY are set. 26 checks green
against the live endpoint; member walk clean.
